The 6” tee offers step-down adjustability for 4”, 5” and 6” tile without the need for additional fittings.  Precision Intakes feature a twist lock connection for easy removal, are the most height adjustable in the industry and are yellow so they can be easily seen even by the color blind.  The 6” below ground unit can be cut in seven places, adjustable in 4” increments; our 8” and 10” unit can be cut in thirds, adjustable in 6” increments and still be able to use the twist lock connections on each size.

Precision tees work well with in-line installations or offset applications.  Our 8” and 10” tee is a combination tee that serves for both size intake units. Reducer fittings are molded on each end so additional fittings are not needed.

Wolfe manufactured their first proto-type self propelled drainage plow and delivered it to the customer in April 1979. Currently there are machines operating in all Canadian provinces in California, Florida, Washington, the Dakotas and Wisconsin, just to mention a few. When covering such a large area as this, Wolfe has encountered a wide range of soil types, climatic conditions and special application for different machines. Wolfe has stepped up to these challenges and kept their equipment advancing with other technological advancements. Currently, machines are installing fiber optic cable and PVC gas lines as well as steel pipe for oil fields both in the United States and Canada. For the last twenty years, Wolfe has been manufacturing completely hydrostatically driven track and rubber-tired equipment. This has eliminated a large percentage of moving parts such as transmissions, drive shafts, belts, pulleys and right angle drives. This has greatly reduced down time and operating costs of the machines and increased the output of the equipment. With forty five years of experience in the industry and the servicing of all manufacturers' equipment, Wolfe has been able to develop equipment with much greater service life and lower operating costs.
